Description
The book titled as Rethinking Mission draws its name from the Rethinking Group in the Indian history of mission. It seeks to re-think Indian cultural and religious issues in continuity with the Rethinking tradition in the history of the church and its mission, which has been addressed widely in this volume. The book has sought scholars and church leaders to rethink issues in mission from Biblical, Theological, Historical, Religious, and Ministerial disciplines. These multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional reflections on various issues challenge the traditional churches and its aged practice of mission and evangelism, in order to bring out biblically, theologically and religio-culturally relevant theology of Mission in the context of the churches and its mission. This book will enable the present churches to rethink their attitude towards mission and to strengthen their knowing, being and doing in every possible way to establish the Reign of God in this earth, especially in the pluralistic context of India.
